In the second hand of the Europa League second round, on Thursday, August 2, the Copenhagen – Stjarnan game will be played.
With a clear added value on their side, the Danes have resolved the fate of their qualifiers since the first round, when they scored 2-0. After a first half, Kodro and Fischer scored decisively in just six minutes. Viktor Fischer continued his excellent form, also marking the weekend victory, 4-0 with Aalborg. Thus, Copenhagen won the third straight consecutive goalless win.
At the 18th consecutive European Cup, Solbakken’s band is turning once again into the Europa League. In the last 16 games played on “Telia Parken” it has only lost two defeats: 1-2 with MSK Zilina and 1-4 with Atletico Madrid. In contrast, in nine of these games, the defensive did not give up at least once.
Instead, the Icelanders, who are only the fourth European adventure, can not boast of an enviable record. In the last four trips they have suffered so many defeats. Moreover, the offensive was totally ineffective. The most dramatic defeat was that of the summer of 2014, 0-6 with Inter Milan. In the first position in the championship, Stjarnan can focus more attention to the next weekend. Especially he is going to receive Valur’s second place visit, the team with points. Thus, the Thursday match in Copenhagen can only have a tourist character.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.60
